Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;There still exist numerous difficulties in generating holes in super alloys, advanced materials and metal matrix composite materials. Electro-discharge drilling (EDD) is a proficient drilling process for the hole making and hole grinding resulting from its characteristics of being a conductive and a thermal process. The EDD process has been investigated and found that this type of process is generally unstable, but its efficiency is very high. The process parameter has been compared with EDM process. In this paper we have research to use a hyid machining process for producing holes in different alloy material (ex- nickel based alloy).and named it as electric discharge diamond drilling. For this process we have self designed and developed set up which can easily hold and rotate the metal bonded diamond aasive tool as electrode. We have installed this set up on NC 200 electric discharge machine and we will perform the experiment.</p>
